Artemis Investment Limited – Stock market live updates: Stocks rise to recover from bear market

HONG KONG - May 24, 2022 - PRLog -- The S&P 500 rose by nearly 1.9% by the end of the trading day, recovering after dipping into bear market territory during Friday's session. The index closed Monday's session at 3,973.75, and was still down more than 17% from its recent record high from Jan. 3. The Dow gained more than 600 points, or nearly 2%, to settle at 31,880.24. The Nasdaq increased 1.6% to end at 11,535.27.

The moves to the upside came after President Joe Biden said he was considering easing tariffs on Chinese goods that had been imposed during the prior administration. Biden's remarks, made during a news conference with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, came in turn after Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said last week that she was encouraging the Biden administration to remove the tariffs she said imposed "more harm on consumers and business" in the U.S.

The possibility of some easing of tariffs while the U.S. economy grapples with decades-high rates of inflation helped at least temporarily boost risk assets that had been battered in recent weeks by jitters over rising prices, more aggressive Federal Reserve monetary policies and international concerns in Ukraine and China. As of Friday, the S&P 500 had also posted a seventh consecutive weekly loss last week in its longest losing streak since 2001. And at its worst point on Friday, the index sank as much as 20.6% from its January record high to trade in bear market territory.
